The present invention relates to a winding apparatus and process for placing yarn or thread upon a spool or bobbin and to the wound product resultingtherefrom and it particularly re- 5 Intel! to the application of winding and coning machines to the application of a criss-cross wind to spools or yarn or thread containers having flanged ends.

It is among the objects of the present inven- 10 tion to provide an improved winding. or coning 6 red by a reciprocating thread guide.

In the preferred construction it is desirable toposition the reciprocating thread guide so that its stroke will be substantially inside of the spacing between the flanged ends of the spool or car- 25 rier and so that the thread or yarn with the same throw will gradually pile it toward said flanges or extension ends of the carrier to form a firm package of yarn or thread, particularly adapted for textile processing purposes.

30 The reciprocating carrier is preferably positioned so as to clear the flange or extension ends of the carrier while another device is preferably utilized which may be placed inside the flanges or extension ends of said spool or carrier and serve 35 to throw out the winding mechanism at a predetermined fliling of said carrier with yarn or The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the following detailed description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred em-- bodimentof the inventive idea.

. Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is an end view of one form of ap- 45 paratus, according to the present invention.

ring to Figures 1 and 2, the machine frame ll carries an enclosure ll, within which is positioned the cam it rapidly rotated by the .shaft l4 driven by the gear I. r

The cam actuates the follower member It 53 which is connected to the rod ll, said rod ll objects of the present gliding in the recess II in the extension mem- The rod i'l, at its end 20, as shown best in Figure 2, carries the upstanding plate member 2| at the top of which'is carried the porcelain 5 thread guide 22.

The porcelain thread guide 22 guides the thread 23 which moves in the direction of the arrow 24, past a stop motion at 25.

Thethread also passes over the fixed guide element 28 carried upon the arm 21 attached by the extension 28 to the frame II and under the tensioning guide 29 which is connected to the wire frame It pivotally mounted at 3| upon the arm l2.

In case of breakage of the thread 23, the element 29 will drop and the left end 33 of the frame will engage one of the recesses 34 in the wheel 35 which turns on the shaft i4.

The engagement of the element 32 with the 20 recess 24 in the wheel 35 will have the eifect of pressing upwardly upon the pivot'll and move the arm 22 in the direction indicated by the arrow 36 in Figure 1 upon its pivot 21 on the frame i l.

The arm is provided with an extension 34 which carries the tooth member 39 engaging the latch 40, said latch 40 being at the end of the curved arm 4| connected to the shaft 42.

The movement of the arm 32 in the direction of the arrow 36 will disengage the face 39 from the tooth 40 permitting the spring 43 connecting upon the arm 44 to rotate the pivot rod 42.

The pivot rod 42, as shown on Figure 2, is pivotally mounted at 45 upon the upper frame extension and is connected by the lever 41 and the rotating disk 48 to the clutch structure 49. The clutch structure 49 isdriven through the pinion Ill which in turn is driven from the main gear II. 40

The clutch 4! drives the shaft 5| which carries at its outer end the spool carrier 52 having the spring fingers I2 on which a spool with flanged ends 5! may be conveniently grasped.

The yarn or thread guide structure 22 and its hearing I! are mountedupon the arm 56, the arm 56 is adjustably positioned by the extension I", the end of which 'lets in the groove ii in the arm 32. The arm 56 is pivotally mounted by the sleeve 51 and is provided with a counter weight 58. This construction will permit the guide 22 to be positioned so that it will reciprocate beyond the flanges and clear the spool 54.

The contact member 59 may be conveniently inserted between the flanges 55 of the spool 54 55 61 attached to the arm 52. As a result pressure on the contact element 59 by the yarn A in the direction indicated by the arrow 50 will throw out the mechanism.

In operation, the shaft II will rotate the cam.

is reciprocating the thread guide 22 which has been set by the arm 56 to clear the flanges 55.

The spool 54, placed upon the carrier 52, II, is rotated by the shaft 5| and will draw the thread past the guides 26 and 29 of Figure 1, giving it a criss-cross wind, as indicated inFigure 3.

The thread will gradually pile up from between the points ,59, as indicated in Figure 3, to the point 10, where it will closely pack against the flanges 55 of the spool 54, forming a package of maximum utility for textile processing.

The packages shownin Figure 3 will permit removal of the yarn over the flanges 55 without interferenca'tangling or undue tension or jacent the periphery thereof.

The control element 55 in the meanwhile, will be set inside of the flanges 55 so that it will be moved in a direction 65, when a suitable amount of filling has been applied.

Both the control element 59 and the thread guide 28 will cause a throwing out and stopping of the machine by disengagement of the clutch 49 through unlatching of the connection 39, 40. shown in Figure 1.

This stoppageof the machine will be caused by a movement of the lever 52 in the direction of the arrow 85. 7

The machine may be restarted most conveniently by the actuation of the hand lever 5| pivotally mounted at I! and having the depending finger 13.

It is to be understood, howeverythat all these variations and alterations as well as any other changes or modifications within the scope of the invention are all to be included herein and the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiment above-illustratively set forth.

What is claimed is:

A yarn or thread package comprising a spool with a central elongated cylindrical portion and circular end flange members permanently connected to said central cylindrical portion, the inside faces of said circular end flange members lying in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the spool, and yarn or thread wound in a compact annular mass and in a criss-cross fashion upon said cylindrical portion, said body of yarn or thread being wound upon said cylindrical portion so that it will be spaced substantially away from said end flange members at said cylindrical portion and will extend outwardly toward said end flange members toward the periphery of the annular yarn mass so that the yarn body is com-'
